Megan Thee Stallion Marks Her Popeyes Opening With a Ribbon-Cutting in Miami Beach
Megan Thee Stallion just added franchise owner to her resume.
On Tuesday, the Grammy Award-winning artist cut the ribbon on her first-ever Popeyes restaurant, opening its doors in the middle of Miami Beach. Located at 1427 Washington Avenue, the spot sits in a high-traffic area that caters to tourists, locals, hotties, and anyone craving some good chicken on the beach at an affordable price.
While Megan may be the owner, this isn’t just another Popeyes location with a celebrity name attached. The hot girl coach’s influence is reflected in the small details in the space. From hottie-certified uniforms to a custom interior that she helped create, the restaurant has a mural, LED signage, and visual touches that feel intentionally personal rather than corporate.
Of course, the food is part of the moment too. The “Bigger in Texas” rapper plans to roll out an exclusive combo called Thee Megan Meal, which includes a chicken sandwich, three tenders, six bone-in wings, red beans and rice, and mac and cheese, exclusively for this location.
For Megan, this is more than just another stream of income. She’s emphasized her desire for the location to be a space rooted in quality and community. The Miami Beach location will also support philanthropic outreach efforts, continuing her commitment to giving back in a meaningful way.
Fans have been watching this project take shape for months. In spring 2025, she shared a walk-through of the space while it was still under construction, sharing her thoughts on what she wanted it to become. Back in late December, she posted footage of herself inside the restaurant, chatting with employees and giving a little peek behind the scenes ahead of opening day.
With the ribbon officially cut, that journey has now come full circle. Her partnership with Popeyes began in 2021, and it went beyond your typical celebrity deal. It included ownership, menu development, fashion releases, and philanthropic initiatives, going far beyond the traditional celebrity endorsement. With the opening of her first restaurant, that partnership has now moved from concept to reality, marking a new chapter in Megan Thee Stallion’s expanding business portfolio.
